Globe User Feedback
“Great for scaling up, in an safe and comfortable way!”
Freek Vrielynck (Senior Scientist, EcoSynth, Belgium)
Atlas & Custom Reactor User Feedback
“We work with zirconium compounds, which are ink additives for the packing industry, and also perform drug discovery studies. We use a range of vessels – from 100ml up to 2L – with our Atlas Calorimeter which, like our 100L pilot system, has been tailored to scale-up experiments and studies in support of this work. The results obtained are fundamental to performing the technological transfer of the procedures to the production plant.”
“...the systems are well designed and the software is very functional, efficient and easy to use, with a robust communication protocol...”
“We evaluated equivalent systems from a number of manufacturers prior to purchasing the Atlas Calorimeter and 100L systems. Syrris arranged a demonstration of one of its reactor systems in our laboratory and explained its technological capabilities; this was really important to us, as it allowed us to see and test the product ourselves before we decided which system to buy.”
“The systems are well designed and the software is very functional, efficient and easy to use, with a robust communication protocol. User-friendly operation allows us to train staff rapidly. The performance and reliability of both systems is really good, and we are now considering purchasing an Asia flow system to complement our existing Syrris equipment.”
Valter Russo (Director of R&D, Zirkon Industria e Comercio Ltda, Brazil)
Atlas User Feedback
“We purchased an Atlas Calorimeter last year (2010), and use it every day to validate new approaches, test new reactions and check whether a particular catalyst or component is active. It enables us to try small-scale reactions before moving to a large-scale pilot plant”
“Before we had the Atlas system we used conventional labware and oil baths, which required close monitoring. With the Atlas, we can leave experiments running all night and get a good result the next day, freeing up time to do other tasks. The system is easy to use and reliable – we know that when we move from the Atlas system to the large-scale plant we will get very similar results – and the software is just beautiful.”
“...and the software is just beautiful...”
“Syrris also worked with us to develop customized stirrers and baffles specifically for our work, and we were able to get what we needed in a reasonable time and for a reasonable price. Our Atlas system has been so successful that we plan to purchase another one in the near future.”
Onofre Casanova (Chemical Process Engineer, IFF, Benicarlo, Spain)
“Since investing in the Atlas from Syrris, we have been delighted at the rapid uptake by our chemists and the high demand that they have placed for available systems. We are also very impressed with the speed and quality of the service and support.”
Dr Phil Peach (Process CRD, Pfizer, UK)
“We purchased two Atlas systems, and are delighted with their performance, ease of use and flexibility.”
David Easson (VP Manufacturing and Process Dev. at Epic Therapeutics, Baxter Healthcare, USA)
“We have found Atlas to be extremely versatile and the ability to re-configure the system as projects demand change is very powerful. Applications such as turbidity, pH control, distillation and calorimetry have been made easy with Atlas.”
“...we have also received excellent post-sales support and technical help from Syrris...”
“We have also received excellent post-sales support and technical help from Syrris. We have been very impressed with the Atlas software and find the ability to seamlessly integrate and control 3rd party equipment to be particularly important when designing experiments.”
Ben Brockbank (Process Development - Syngenta Ltd, UK)
“We at Torrent bought a Syrris Parallel Atlas jacketed reactor system and found that the Atlas Reactor platform is extremely flexible, powerful and user friendly system. This system has now become core to our Chemical Research. We are continuing to upgrade the Atlas systems with more functionality to perform Reaction Calorimetry and Turbidity probes for crystallization studies.”
“...the Atlas Reactor platform is extremely flexible, powerful and user-friendly...”
“One key to our success with the Atlas system apart from the strength of the product itself is the highly responsive nature of Syrris as a company. Syrris has now developed new functionality together with Torrent. In addition with Syrris now having an Indian subsidiary, we also have a pool of highly knowledgeable people in India who can resolve issues with us very quickly.”
“Torrent is very pleased with Syrris as a company and our experience of the Atlas product line is very positive and we sincerely believe that this would be a continuous and consistent feature.”
Dr. Sunil S. Nadkarni (VP, Product Development Torrent, India)
Asia User Feedback
“We use the Asia flow chemistry system for work targeted at the synthesis of a natural product, and it is essential that we are able to undertake multi-step processes. The modular design of the Asia system is very helpful, allowing us to rearrange it into different configurations to suit whatever multi-step synthesis sequence we need to perform.”
“...the flexibility to change syringes enables anything from very small scale to large scale synthesis to be achieved...”
“The major advantage of the Asia system is the accuracy of its pumps at low flow rates – as low as 1 µl/min – which allows us to perform flow reactions on milligram quantities of material, and the flexibility to change syringes enables anything from very small scale to large scale synthesis to be achieved. It is very easy to exclude water from the system, allowing organometallic reactions to be set up more rapidly.”
“The pressurised inlet for the pumps is also extremely useful for these reactions – pumping organometallic compounds can be problematic in flow chemistry giving us the confidence to try things that we would not previously have attempted and helping to reduce failure rates.”
Catherine Carter (Ley Group, University of Cambridge, UK)
Africa User Feedback
“Ideal for evaluation of kinetics of temperature sensitive fast reactions. The whole system is controlled via a user friendly Reaction Manager Software and Windows driven PC.”
Mark R. Bailey (Eli Lilly & Co, IN, USA)
“The Africa system has proved to be a valuable addition to our machinery for instrumented assisted synthesis. Especially, the easy to use software which allows very simple configuration of different reaction set ups makes the system extremely user friendly. Also for reaction optimization the software and the robotic system with two autosamplers is extremely useful and allows efficient library synthesis.”
“...the robotic system with two autosamplers is extremely useful and allows efficient library synthesis...”
“Additionally, the support from Syrris which we have experienced is of the highest quality. This is invaluable, especially when you start to use a new system and you need quickly an advice how to handle a certain problem. Overall, we are very happy with the system and are exploring more and more of the possibilities the system offers and still have not exhausted all the features.”
Michael Schnürch (Institute of Applied Synthetic Chemistry, Vienna University of Technology, Austria)
“A multiday, multistep preparative procedure has been shortened to a matter of minutes”
Daniel Grant (Burnham Institute, CA, USA)
“A safe and readily accessible substitute for ethyl azide has been identified and its usefulness demonstrated in a [3 + 2]-cycloaddition design space evaluation using the Syrris Africa continuous flow reactor setup.”
Rob Tinder (Wyeth Research Chemical Development, NY, USA)
“While using the Syrris Africa system, it quickly becomes obvious that this advancing technology is prime for both pharma and academic drug discovery efforts. It’s sheer flexibility allows for countless reaction configurations through use of microchip, fixed-bed, and tubular reactors with multiple, high profile modules on hand for ‘as needed’ integration.”
“...great for discovery and reaction optimization...”
“The automated reagent injection module is great for discovery and reaction optimization as multiple reagents, catalysts, or substrates can effectively be screened in a single, automated reaction sequence. This results in rapid optimization and the possibility of discovering new substrate/catalyst reactivity patterns within any given system.”
“On top of these valued attributes, our laboratory gives the Syrris’ post sales support team an A+ for their timely communication and high-level troubleshooting efforts.”
“Syrris is a pioneer in the development of technology that is empowering chemists in both industry and academia.”
